There are opportunities to save on the tuition and fees at Mid. Your true out-of-pocket contribution will be the cost of attendance minus the free money that you are awarded, which can come in the form of grants and scholarships. This is called the net cost of attendance .

Save Money on Tuition
Paying for college doesn't have to be complicated, and we're here to help.
First of all, two years at Mid saves students $16,000* in tuition vs. the average of Michigan public universities. You're on your way to savings. But, most of Mid's students receive financial aid to offset their college costs even further.
83% of first-time, full-time freshman receive some form of aid to offset costs.
Options for aid include federal funding, like grants or loans, or Mid scholarships. Mid also employs many student workers through both College funding and the Federal Work Study Program.
